Autumn Beauty

As I have mentioned before, I ♥ Faces is a photo blog dedicated to the beauty of faces. Every week they hold a photo contest, and I decided to join in this week.

This week’s challenge is “Autumn Beauty”. My entry is of my beautiful sister, Katelyn. This photo was taken on a lovely Autumn evening just as the sun was setting.

To see more Autumn Beauty photos, stop by I ♥ Faces.

   WOW! I love the bokeh you captured on this! And the light on her face – so soft and beautiful. Wonderful shot! One of these days I will get there! :D Thanks for commenting on my photo. :)

Indian Summer

.

For the past week or so we have been enjoying an Indian Summer. It really was a nice break from the cold and gloom we experienced in October.

.

One fine afternoon, Mom insisted that we all take a walk. We ambled down to the beach and found many birds on the lake.

.

Elinor loved playing in the sand; she tried to stuff some of it into her mouth.

.

Now I’m just waiting for the snow to fall so that we can begin winter sports: ice skating, x-country & downhill skiing, sledding, etc.

   We have had the same weather until today… the weather is starting to feel quite festive!!

Fingerless Mitts for Janna

When I found three skeins of pink fingering-weight yarn at a thrift store, I just couldn’t help myself. That yarn NEEDED to be bought. However, baby pink is not really my color.

So, as my sister Janna (who loves pink) read two novels aloud to us, I knit her these lacy fingerless gloves.

This pattern is available for free through Ravelry.

With the leftover yarn I am knitting this lovely hat for Janna, which is also available for free through Ravelry.

P.S. If you like to knit or crochet, I highly recommend joining Ravelry.
